Hi Olivier,

Yes, this should be possible - I'll take a look tomorrow.  I only need to
work out which ethereal dissector best corresponds to "ss7_mtp2" and make
sure there's no junk at the start that I need to skip.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

This is great! Could you add SS7 protocols too (see .out attached)?

Thanks,
Olivier.
